In India, he began as a stage actor performing at Prithvi Theatre and NCPA in Mumbai, and then toured the country with the award-winning play 'Baghdad Wedding', which won the national META award for Best Play and Best Ensemble. He got good notice in his first Indian movie as the German Boxing Coach in Mary Kom (2014) (Viacom18), and subsequently was cast to play the 'gora shaitaan' Greyerson in the Hindi TV serial MahaKumbh (2014) (LifeOK) and later several characters from the series Stories by Rabindranath Tagore (2015) (Netflix).
